Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 458 Bathwater?!

The group moved forward, their footsteps echoing clearly through the empty, desolate metal street.

On both sides are towering and cold metal buildings, with an ancient style and hard lines. They are made of some kind of divine metal and have survived for thousands of years, only covered with a thick layer of dust of time.

"Strange, this city is so big, but apart from the few guards, it feels completely empty."

Cao Yusheng scratched his head, his small eyes darting around, trying to find some signs of life or divine light from a magical artifact, but he found nothing.

"That's really strange. How come there's not a single person in such a big city?"

Beside her, the Lunar Jade Rabbit cradled the now-calm Qilin cub, its ruby-like eyes curiously darting around, its voice ringing out crisply in the silence.

"Perhaps at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, this city experienced an unimaginable calamity, and all living beings in the city perished, leaving only these guardians who uphold the last will."

On the contrary, Shi Hao's voice was somewhat low, because he sensed a kind of desolation and indomitable fighting spirit permeating the depths of this city, which resonated faintly with certain imprints within his body.

Ahead, Shi An calmly scanned the buildings along the way. His divine sense spread out silently like mercury, exploring the mysteries of this ancient city.

"It is not completely empty."

After a moment, he spoke softly: "In some places, there are extremely faint and strange fluctuations, sealed by powerful restrictions. This city is far more complex than we can see."

"Below, there may be a different world!"

"Is that so?!"

Upon hearing Shi An's words, everyone was startled and became vigilant.

They had absolute trust in Shi An, the one who fought against the Supreme Being and destroyed the Wind Clan.

If he says there's something strange, then there must be something strange.

What was once a seemingly empty street now appeared to be filled with countless eyes, and the cold metal buildings seemed to have transformed into lurking behemoths, radiating an invisible pressure.

Shi Hao and the others immediately focused their inner energy and released their spiritual senses, entering a state of alert.

Cao Yusheng stopped laughing, his chubby face becoming serious.

The Moon Rabbit instinctively hugged the little Qilin tightly.

Only Yunxi felt at peace as she felt the warmth emanating from Shi An's palm, but her beautiful eyes followed Shi An's gaze.

Huo Ling'er, Qingyi, the witch, and others were also on high alert.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quite somber.

"what is that?"

After an unknown amount of time, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention to the source of the exclamation.

At the end of the street, a surging divine glow appeared out of nowhere, surrounded by a hazy white mist, giving it a sacred and peaceful appearance.

"Let's go over and have a look!"

With that, the group rushed forward.

This also applies to Lan Xian and others who had previously had some unpleasant experiences with Shi Hao.

However, Shi Hao and his group did not pay any attention to the other party, because with Shi An around, no one dared to be presumptuous in front of him.

Soon, the group arrived at that location.

"My God, those are Soul-Guiding Lotuses, and there are three of them!"

As soon as they got close, Cao Yusheng let out a strange cry, hardly believing his eyes.

Looking ahead, there was a pool of water filled with divine light, and in the center of the pool, three Soul-Guiding Lotuses, flowing with dazzling radiance, swayed gently in the breeze. "These are divine herbs! How can there be so many here? And all growing in one place!"

Everyone else seemed surprised as well.

You know that's a miracle drug!
Although they may not be unique and cannot be compared with the elixir of immortality, each of these divine herbs is extremely rare. Searching the entire world, there are only a few plants, and they cannot grow in one place, because the essence of one place is often insufficient to support the symbiosis between them.

But... suddenly three plants appeared here, and all of them were Soul-Guiding Lotuses.

"Excellent! A great opportunity to train my primordial spirit is right in front of me!"

In an instant, many people's eyes revealed eagerness.

The most amazing thing about this medicine is that it can strengthen a person's primordial spirit, and can even revive a person as long as a little bit of their consciousness remains!
"Pfft!"

Water splashed everywhere, and a figure leaped into the pool first.

Cao Yusheng!

The Jade Rabbit of the Moon shrieked, its ruby-like eyes wide open, only to see the fat Taoist priest pounce on the Soul-Guiding Lotus like an eel, shouting, "My primordial spirit is deficient, I need to borrow one to replenish it!"

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing this, Zi Ri, Da Xu Tuo, and the others were immediately filled with regret and followed closely behind.

"Splash! Splash! Splash!..."

"It smells so good! This pool water has actually been infused with the medicinal properties of the divine lotus for a long time, so strong that it can't be dissolved!"

Cao Yusheng, who had fallen into the water first, laughed strangely and swallowed large gulps of water.

Many people followed suit, scooping up handfuls of water to absorb its rich medicinal properties. Some even buried their heads in the pool and drank it freely.

They had figured it out. Since Shi An was around, those three Soul-Guiding Lotuses were basically none of their business. Since they couldn't get any meat, why not drink some lotus soup while they could, so they wouldn't run out of soup later?

Thinking this way, many people moved even faster.

"Who's gone mad, drinking my bathwater?"

Just then, a very young voice, but with an indescribable arrogance and dissatisfaction, like that of an offended little tyrant, suddenly rang out, echoing in everyone's ears like thunder, instantly silencing the originally noisy scene.

"Pfft...cough cough..."

"what?!"

"Bathwater...?!"

In an instant, the area around the pool fell silent.

The cultivators who had just been eagerly swallowing the pool water and even burying their heads in it as if they had found a treasure froze in their tracks. Their intoxication and greed instantly vanished, replaced by astonishment, disgust, and disbelief.

Cao Yusheng was choked so badly that his face turned red. He suddenly pulled his head out of the water, looking like he had seen a ghost. He pointed at the few swaying, radiant lotus flowers in the center of the pool, his fingers trembling slightly.

"Who? Who's speaking?! Show yourself, you little brat!"

Cao Yusheng was shocked and angry, but more than that, he felt ashamed and annoyed at being made a fool of.

He felt that what he had just drunk was not the essence of a divine medicine, but something real... filthy.

The Moon Jade Rabbit was so startled that it almost dropped the baby Qilin it was carrying. Its large, ruby-like eyes were filled with astonishment and doubt: "Bathwater? This...this Soul-Guiding Lotus Pond is...a bathhouse?!"

Shi Hao, Qing Yi, Huo Ling'er, the witch, and the others also looked solemn and instantly became extremely vigilant, their eyes flashing like lightning as they scanned the depths of the pool where divine light was rising and white mist was billowing.

The voice was so eerie that even they didn't know when it had appeared.
